Big Band B/ast
The "Something Special" Orchestra, directed by Plainview resident Professor Phil
Costa of Queensborough Community College's biology department, will give a perfor­mance
on the Bayside campus on Sunday evening, March 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the Humanities
Theater.
The newly formed 17-piece big band held a musical extravaganza for a recent Cancer
Society fund-raising event chaired by the state's First Lady, Matilda Cuomo. The Orches­tra,
which combines big band and jazz band sound, has been appearing in the New York
City area and on Long Island.
According to Professor Costa, the band's music director, "all 17 musicians are educators
by day and performers at night, many of whom put themselves through college playing
club dates. The resurrection of the big band sound is a long time in coming, and now we
finally have an audience for our kind of music," he happily added. Working with him from
the QCC faculty, is Dennis Bobe, who, like Costa, plays a mean trumpet.
The Orchestra's repertoire is large and varied. The evening's program will include the
golden oldies of Harry James, Benny Goodman, Glen Miller, and Stan Kenton. Also
featured will be the exciting jazz sonds of Count Basic, Maynard Ferguson, and Buddy
Rich, arranged by such greats as Don Sebesky, Don Menza, and Hal Leonard.
Tickets are $5 for the March 24 concert, and are available at the QCC Theater box office
immediately. For additional information call (718) 631-6311 or (516) 681-1789, As usual,
there will be ample free parking on campus.
Queensborough Community College is located at S6th Avenue and Springfield Boule­vard
in Bayside. (Exit #29 on the L.I.E.)

Yevoli Charges
TOBAY With Creating
Garbage ^Crisis'
Assemblyman Lewis J.
Yevoli charged Oyster Bay
officials with "gross negli­gence"
in the wake of reports
that private carters are
dumping garbage from New
York City at the To'wn's Old
Bethpage Landfill. Last
week the Nassau County
District Attorney's office
revealed that a lengthy
investigation has uncovered
major violations of the
Town's sanitation laws
involving the illegal dump­ing
of city garbage at the
landfill. Yevoli said, "The
;Qld Bethpage facility is the
#1 rated hazardous toxic
dump in New York State
and is listed as one of the
most polluted sites in the
country." A series of tests

the existence of a
contaminated plume 235 .

upper level of the Magothy
Aquifer, which provides
88% of Nassau County's
drinking water.
During the eight years
that Joseph Colby has been
Supervisor, I have repeat­edly
asked him to close the
landfill and clean it up and
so have thousands of resi­dents
and local water district
officials. He has ignored us

has pushed plans to expand
the landfill another 13.5
acres because he calims
more room is needed for the
Town's garbage. When we
complained that not all of
the garbage coming into the
landfill was from Oyster Bay
and demanded stringent
controls at the site. Supervi­sor
Colby did nothing about
it." Yevoli said.
"When you realize what
has been going on here,"
Yevoli said, "It boggles your
mind. Last fall, Colby
claimed there was a garbage
crisis due to a lack of space
at the landfill. He actually
increased pur taxes allegedly
to cover the costs of trucking
the Town's garbage to
another state. To date, he
hasn't shipped a dixie cup
out of Town. All of the gar­bage

Hayes Inn
Sold!
By Dolores Parry
Mr. Arthur Hayes, the tenant-landlord for the
past 19 years at HAYES INN on Broadway,
hosted a nostalgic farewell party to his Bethpage
clients on Thursday, February 28th, 1985.
Because the property has been sold, Mr. Hayes
told us that he is losing all that he has put into the
Bethpage Community. The HAYES INN, origi­nally
Mr. Sengstacken's general store, was built in
1903 at a cost of only $1000, according to Mr.
Hayes! In the intervening years, the community
growth was encouraged by Mr. Sengstacken's
efforts. As a general store, the Hayes Inn has
hosted many varied comrriunity groups: St. Mar­tin
of Tours used it for church services before the
present church building was constructed in 1923,
a roller skating rink occupied the upstairs in the
past; and the post office used it as a temporary
location until their new building could be occu­pied.
Also, the HAYES INN has sponsored base­ball,
bowling and basketball teams over the years.
Mr. Hayes said he was very sorry to see the
HAYES INN sold, but "That's the way things
happen in business." He also said that the people
of Bethpage have been very nice to him over the
yeSrs. Mr. Patrick O'Shea told me "As a lifelong
resident, I realize what Mr. Hayes has done for
the community by sponsoring the youth in High
School teams and he was very active in the foot­ball
program also. He is a good man and good for
the community." On behalf of the residents of
Bethpgige, we wish you and your wife a happy
retirement, and thank you, Mr. Hayes.
Mr. Arthur Hayes stands tall as he is surrounded by many
friends and long time customers on this memorable ciosine
day. *
